Time Warner Wins Ohio-Wide Cable Franchise

An anonymous reader writes "Time Warner Cable has received a state-wide franchise agreement in Ohio. Time Warner's agreement covers 260 communities in 60 of Ohio's 88 counties, for 10 years. AT&T was the first to earn a state-wide franchise contract, after a law was passed in September that allowed operators to negotiate a single state-wide agreement. In the past operators negotiated franchise agreements at the local level."

  1. Reaganomics ?!? by mosel-saar-ruwer · · Score: 0, Flamebait


    Is this a spillover from Reaganomics?

    What in the world are you talking about?

    Do you even know who Ronald Reagan was?

    Some of you left-wing kooks are absolutely pathological in your addiction to political fantasies.

    PS: If you want to know how "politics" really works, then watch Showtime's Brotherhood.

    And no, it's not a show about the GOP.

  2. Reagan - Bow before the stockbroker, or die. by sethstorm · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    (Score:-1, Troll) for three posts straight? Someone seems not to like it when their Dear Leader shows how he powered his illusion of prosperity.

    Yeah, unfortunately I and many others suffered under his rule. Well, not exactly his rule since he was already senile when he entered office. I watched my parents investments and dividends and retirement bennies go up in a puff of smoke because of the business atmosphere that administration created. And I can tell you this. The IRS took 70% of my father's income, and my mom didn't have to find work to make up for it. Your Ronnie Reagan made it necessary to have three incomes to raise a family. Yeah that trickle down was a real winner that was. You don't know what you're talking about if think he was some kind of hero. Sounds like you never saw past the headlines. That's what the US gets for allowing businesses to be given the ability to act like they're $DEITY. One more reason that Ohio has cemented its distaste for him and his failed philosophies.
